A brief history of London

You may already know that London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom and that as a city it has the highest population in the UK. Standing on the River Thames, it’s been a major settlement for over two millennia with its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.

Central London is understood to be the innermost part of London. No one has defined the area that it covers but it’s characterised by:

Extremely high population density, especially around Soho and Oxford street

Elevated property prices and value – the average 3 bed flat is going for £4,500,000

It’s otherwise known as ‘central’ or just ‘town’

It has a vibrant nightlife with lots of cafes and bars
